"We had five-on-threes for quite a substantial amount of time on the clock," said Hawks defenseman James Wisniewski, who was credited with six shots on goal.

"You have to give them credit. It's not like we weren't bombing away. We didn't bear down and bury it. I had probably a good six or seven shots on the five-on-threes, and I couldn't seem to find a hole."

The Hawks took a 1-0 lead early in the first when Jonathan Toews scored after tipping a long shot by Kris Versteeg past Lundqvist.

A five-on-three advantage paid off for the Rangers when Drury tallied with Seabrook (tripping) and Cam Barker (fighting, two-minute instigator) in the box to tie it 1-1.

After Brandon Dubinsky scored midway through the third for the lead, the Hawks tied it 2-2 with 4:29 remaining when Seabrook fired a shot from inside the blue line past Lundqvist.

"This is a completely different team now than we were in the first game," Versteeg said. "We've come a long way in maturity. We're a lot more consistent, and we know what to do on a nightly basis to try to win."

The Hawks' roster has undergone minor tweaking since that initial game, with the biggest change at head coach, where Joel Quenneville replaced Denis Savard.

"If you look at opening night, we were kind of a group that was put together and no one really knew what the ice time would be or who was playing with whom," winger Patrick Kane said. "Once Joel came in, everything kind of jelled."
